Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 148
unedited
“It’s amazing that you go to work like this every day while working a side job concurrently. Now that you’re more stable, you should be able to enjoy the autonomous work system.”
“That’s right. Can’t you see that the other seniors are uncomfortable? I’ve been watching you all day.’
‘No, what are those beggars doing to a weak woman? Can’t they see she was busy.’
Robbie was furious too. Even though he’s double standard / hypocrite (the raw is 로남불 it’s a slang-ish), he hated men who bullied women in the first place.
If it wasn’t for Ejed, he wouldn’t have done anything so rude, such as visiting Annie. It wasn’t that he didn’t like Annie.
He tightened his eyes and looked at the behavior of her colleagues. If they hit her, even the Imperial Knights will be brought along.
Annie, on the contrary, responded with a bright smile and roaringly counterattacked.
“The Lords are truly amazing. You reflect on yourself every day.”
“What do we have to reflect on? We just give advice on the situation in which Lady Dsev goes to work every time….”
“There is an answer in the question. I will be grateful for that advice and return it as it is.”
The two colleagues who understood Annie’s words instantly became mute.
Although they themselves were the heirs of the family and had a separate job, they were in a situation where they were engaged in imperial duties.
In a way, it was spitting in their own face.
Their faces, who had tried to use all sorts of tricks to insult Annie, burned with a sense of insult.
But Annie didn’t care. She moved her pen harder, ignoring the barking of the dogs around her.
“How long do you think you’ll hold out like that? One of the Cromus envoys doesn’t even want to see the face of a female official. There will come a day when you’ll be useless.”
“Yes. In that case, there is an exception, so please ask the other seniors.”
Annie responded lightly to the warning, as cruel as a curse. Then, bewilderment flashed across the faces of the two colleagues.
They started shooting at her while pointing fingers at her.
“Are you so incompetent?!”
“You must do your own thing!”
‘Wow, those bastards. Aren’t you ashamed?”
Robbie is very angered. Those who took the difficult test and passed are so ignorant.
If it were him, he would have been embarrassed to say such a thing and could not even carry his face. His face was very hot for them.
“Well, that’s the principle, but there are exceptions.”
Whoo. As Annie took her breath once, Robbie pricked up his ears unknowingly.
Somehow, he was very curious about what would come next. How was she going to grill these Lords?
“We’re basically supposed to help each other, aren’t you? So I’ve been helping the two of you frequently since the first day I went to work, and I’m sure we’ll help each other with the next week’s agenda.”
It was truly a great talk. Other meanings were revealed in the voice as she talked about various specific issues.
Annie, who had talked about more than a dozen things, asked with a calm smile.
“Ah, shall I stop doing that then?”
“Keugh….”
The two comrades flinched, looked at each other, and then left. They mumbled the words ‘We’ll see’ from behind.
Annie looked at her back and sighed.
“Do your own job first and come to quarrel. Do some work. Ugh, tax thieves.”
“…..”
Robbie’s expression, who had been watching her closely, darkened a little. An official who even worried about the country’s taxes that went wasted.
It was better to pay one outstanding person rather than the salary that would go to two sloppy people like that.
‘I’ll have to go to Demela later and tell him to cut them. Demela, this bastard fell for it. Why do you just leave them like that.’
The old days were enough for tax thieves. It will be absolutely difficult here.
He muttered gloomy, but again, he heard footsteps from somewhere. As he looked up in surprise, he saw a familiar face in the distance.
‘Huh? …… Rai? Why is that guy?’
There was a bouquet of flowers behind his back as if he had decided to do something. Robbie sighed at the sight.
‘That’s a very classic way of confessing.’
Rai’s face was full of earnestness.
He was about to make a confession when he was leaving soon.
‘Hey, no. No! Now is not a good time. Go, dude!’
Rai didn’t back down, even as he clicked his tongue inside. As Rai hesitated and approached, Annie, who had arranged her stuff, got her body up.
She smiled and spoke in a more polite tone.
“I’m sorry. I have to go back now, so it’s difficult to talk.”
“It’s just a little bit. Just a little bit…”
“Sir Rai. Sir Rai is a really nice person. To the point I want to introduce my younger sibling to you.”
“….”
“However, I have no intention of dating anyone. I’m sorry, but I think it’s better to separate public and private life.’
Annie, who flatly refused, wasn’t like what Robbie had imagined. She kept her line like a sword without being daunting.
‘What…..Why don’t you slap some iron walls like that on our Ejed. Sheesh.’
As Rai lowered his head, Annie said in a small, soft voice.
“I’ll try to greet you with a better appearance next time. Let’s go on a delicious restaurant tour together.”
Rai carefully grabbed Annie’s outstretched hand.
